pcapdump requires that the selected capture interface be up (not
necessarily configured with an IP address or have a link), or else it
will exit, e.g.:

    [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# pcapdump -i eth1 -w /dev/null
    pcapnet_init] opening capture interface eth1
    pcapnet_init_device] Error: pcap_open_live failed: bind: Network is down

how do I specify this dependency?
